gee discussion about buying Greenland happened 1867. 1910, 1946, and again in 2019..

Trump was president during only 1 of those times.

So why didn't we buy it back then? Guess it wasn't for sale in the past either.

huh? Greenland isn't for sale. End of story.

My first house wasn't either....

We didn't want it for strategic reasons until the start of the cold war....

We all know that only Contumacious and BackAgain are more ignorant than Trump.,

Actually Kamala voters are the dumb ones. She flunked her first Bar exam, but can run the US? Not on her best day.

“Much like Trump’s threat to reclaim the Panama Canal, there may be something darker at work with his Greenland obsession — a desire to see American territory expanded under his watch, a neo-colonial bent that would fit all to uncomfortably well with his mercantilist worldview. But it’s also entirely possible that, having latched onto an idea previously, Trump is simply now unwilling to let it go, no matter how much people around him try to correct him. It’s a stubbornness that would be unbecoming in most children, let alone in the Oval Office. Now it has the potential to wreak havoc once returned to a seat of power on the world stage.”

This is one of countless reasons why Trump is unfit to be president – he behaves like to petulant child throwing a temper-tantrum because he doesn’t get his way.

And Trump voters who defend Trump are just as childish, ignorant, and wrong.

The northern shipping lanes will be viable when the earth warms and it is no longer blocked by ice. Having Greenland would secure those shipping lanes and be invaluable. Then we wouldn’t be dependent on the Panama Canal.

But of course leftwing twats are just obsessed with hating anything Orange Man does and must oppose anything he does.

As if on cue, Trump voters rush to the defense of Trump’s ignorance and stupidity.

You're getting apples and oranges mixed up again. You are a mixed up little man.

Liberal logic: If Trump is for it, we are against it. No need for facts or rational arguments. That Trump is for it is all we need to know.

What a gaggle of dumbfucks.

No wonder they got their collective asses kicked.

You're a fool. No one but the senile orange bag O' shit gives any ***** about Greenland. He's a ******* idiot. We all know it.

What's really behind Trump's Greenland obsession

The president-elect's desire to acquire the Danish territory reportedly came from the most predictable, and ridiculous, of sources.

trump is probably the most impulsive human to even sit in the WH. He has once again raised his interest in acquiring Greenland. he needs to pick up a history book and read some background on the country, before he wastes our tax dollar on another one of his real estate boondoggles.

It’s especially fitting that a real estate developer whose properties have declared bankruptcy multiple times is besotted with this particular landmass.

A sane president would see all that as a reason to make them a firm trading partner and ally. If he knew anything about negotiating, he could make mutually advantageous agreements to give us access to their resources. Of course, trump isn't sane, and he knows nothing about negotiation, so he childishly offers to buy the country. Only an idiot would try to buy a country.

To be fair, Greenland probably represents a great deal of mineral wealth, although a lot of it is inaccessible due to ice mass.

But ownership of it has been a source of pride for Denmark since the Middle Ages.

by using facts going back 150 years.

you picked a poor topic this time.

I thought Lefties believed in global warming?

Greenland would make a great investment, if so.

Not really.

Right now, the population of Greenland is smaller than the population of Cicero, IL.

If Trump really wants it he has to get it some other way. It's not for sale.

The talks haven't even been started... weather you know it or not Greenland is not a bargain for Denmark... its a burden for them not an asset... but if a deal can be reached where we pursue the minerals for Greenland and guarantee their sovereignty anything is possible...

Pituffik Space Base is a United States Space Force base located on the northwest coast of Greenland. It is the northernmost installation of the U.S. Armed Forces, 1,210 km (750 mi) north of the Arctic Circle and 1,524 km (947 mi) from the North Pole. Pituffik's Arctic environment includes icebergs in North Star Bay, two islands (Saunders Island and Wolstenholme Island), a polar ice sheet, and Wolstenholme Fjord. The base is home to a substantial portion of the global network of missile warning sensors of Space Delta 4, and space surveillance and space control sensors of Space Delta 2, providing space awareness and advanced missile detection capabilities to North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the United States Space Force, and joint partners.​
